Lateral means to a dramatic end, my original task-based performances, Privattheater, WHWYMGB, Pecu, and Opæan, formed a coherent solo project to provide material and direction for the consequent collaborations. Notably, I would lead the company Psychological Art Circus to make a distinct body of interdisciplinary work guided by texts of the three seers, Anna O., Olive Pixley, and in Illusions of Reference, the Oracle, Pythia.
Following Illusions of Reference, I began to discover a new conceptual framework for further creation based on the life and art of the Mallorcan mystic Guillem Fanaler. The results of this research—visual, sonic, and programmatic—are to be elaborated on in live work The Coincidence of All.
